[PHP] superglobals -sessions-clookies
I think I've got down how to use the new superglobals with data sent from forms using whichever method needed. Now I need to learn how to do it with sessions! this is what I'm trying to accomplish. my website/ client list is growing and I want to add the ability for them to login, edit account info, check proress, order new services etc. How do I use sessions, with the new superglobals, to gather the information I will need to write to the database? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] PHP and mySQL...
Since you didnt make it clear, do you even have MySql and php on your server? Are you looking to just move your data or looking to get php mysql installed on the server as well? (SERVER = production site, not localhost) if you just wanna move data, like everyone else said phpmyadmin rocks, but I do have a recommendation for ya before you jump to the ease of a GUI. Learn how to work in the command line, for the type of situation you are trying to resolve, after you learn that THEN work with a GUI like phpmyadmin. this will both give you a better understanding of mysql commands and also help you to fully appreciate the usefullness of phpmyadmin. -lol if you dont already have mysql php installed on your prodution site, see what it will cost you to have it installed etc, if anyhting, and if its already suppossed to be there, make sure they have set it up for your use, some times ISP's wont create you a database till you ask, or even have the latest version of php intalled for that matter. Even though it's suppossed to be included in your server option. hope it helps. Miguel Cruz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

This is what I would like to accomplish: I am currently developing a database on my website using mysql which is on my harddrive. I have installed Apache as well and I am using PHP. My database is functioning fine on localhost. I would like to find out the steps one takes in going from the process of having this reside on my harddrive - localhost - in development - to my ISP's server when it goes live. MySQL has a command-line tool called 'mysqldump' which will output a text file containing all the table creates and inserts necessary to recreate the database. As others have suggested, you can use phpmyadmin to import this file, or you can just pipe it into the mysql command-line tool on the server once you've created your database. Look inside the file created by mysqldump and all will be much clearer. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: using new AUTOGLOBALS
the thing is, using the methods I described in my first post, the superglobals or autoglobals arent working. I cant figure out why, and , like the other guy said, most books dont include this feature in a topic for discussion. Can anyone offer advice? Cyberskydive [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... So I wanna learn how to code properly with register_globals off, I reead on PHP.net about the new auto globals and inmy new php4.1.2 windows installation using php.ini-rec edited according to the intall.txt file, and a few changes from books I have (upload tmp dir etc) I'm off to learn how to use the new auto globals. I've tried $_REGISTER and $_POST . Here is what I tried as a simple test. form method=post action=somefile.php input type=text name=is_name input type=submit /form --somefile.php-- ? print($_REGISTER[is_name]); or print($_POST[is_name]); ? I also tried $HTTP_POST_VARS[name] I didnt think about it till now but would it work if i assigned say : $is_name = getenv($_POST or $_REGISTER); this came about while I was learning sessions, which were not working right with 4.0 installed with APACHE on windows. So I decided to update my php, as an ISAPI module, instead of running as a cgi version, and I left register_globals off. when I tried to edit an example session script I had from a book to use $_POST, $_REGISTER, or even $_SESSION i got a blank page on the reload. I think sid is returning empty. Can anyone offer me advice on this, proper coding and or proper configuration in PHP.INI I'm trying to learn all this at once-lol, and learn it properly the first time around, especially since register globas will be deprecitated-poof.

Re: [PHP] writing / reading from text files
thanks guys, there is just one more question I dont see an answer for anywhere I've looked. will fseek read past \n's and if so how do I move the filepointer to a newline, or should I just put all the data on one line?

Re: [PHP] REMOTE_ADDR probs
I will try to call with the other meythodds you suggested and see what
happens.
I may have not been really clear.
on windows everythings working fine
on solaris it logs the IP address as the users/visitors (on a nother page)
but when using the code I included in my first post to check for a matching
IP, its returning the servers IP, thus searching the logged IP list for the
servers IP, instead of the users. So on one part of the site it works fine,
but on another it doesnt-lol

It works great on windows running apache php 4.0.1

it returns the servers IP address, but everywhere else it returns the
users
IP address.
On the Solaris machine, are you running PHP as an Apache module or as a
CGI?
Check the output of phpinfo() on your solaris machine...see if using
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS[REMOTE_ADDR] or $HTTP_ENV_VARS[REMOTE_ADDR] give you
the expected results...

[PHP] Well I made it work...but
hi! I was unable to find any pre-written php code for a survey without a database and using text files. So I was faced with the challenge of writing my first script! -lol What I eventually ended up with was a 3 answer poll, that will be called for as many questions as I need, then I wil display the total results at the end of the survey. The problem is that the only way I was able to get it to work was to create a seperate text file for each available answer, (eg, yes.txt, no.txt notsure.txt) Which fir multiple questions can get kinda filey-lol This is what I WANTED to do, but was unable so far to find the way if there is one. I wanted to have one text file for answer storage, possibly writing the values for each answer on a seperate line, or a comma seperated list on one line. I was never able to extract values from a specific area in the text file. I tried to use fseek() to move the file pointer, but all I could get was 1 or 0. As I write this I thtink I remember reading of a function that allows you to read part of a file, and print the rest or something, but I need to able to first read a specific line, or value in the file, then extract just that value, and then update that value acording to the users answer, and then replace the updated value back in its respective place. All without touching the other values. Can anyone guide me to the proper way of figuring this out? Also, I wanted to create a IP log to prevent anyone from taking the poll / survey. The way I did it was to simply write the users REMOTE_ADDR to a text file, and then I used strstr($firstvalue, $second) to search for it and display the appropriate content. Is this appropriate? thanks for reading this far-lol -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Exact string replacement...
use substr_replace
string substr_replace(string text, string replacement, integer start,
integer length)
EG:
?
$text = Wow! This is neat, yes it is!;
print($text);
print('br');
print(substr_replace($text, are, 10, 2));
?
10 is the place where you want it to start replacement, 2 (is) more forward
it ends.

[PHP] problems using an elsif statement on apache php 4.06
I have two php scripts being included on my website. one is a switch statement used for page navigation, and the other is an elseif used to display different html code based on the value of a variable (different on each page) My apache server keeps freezing up and my hosting company tells me that the child processes arent dieing off, requiring me to call them everytime I need to restart the server. What could be causing this? Is theree a better way to display dynamic content besides an elsif statemet? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] HELP! I was just wondering
I've been playing around with php alot lately and started to scheme ways to
use it-lol
so heres what I tried to do:
first there is a switch statement:
?
switch($page) {
case refer: require(some_file.php);
exit;
?
On that some_file.php I have an elseif like so:
?
if($page == $refer)
{
$title = Welcome to this website;
}
elseif($page == $somethingelse)
{
$title = Something else than the other one;
}
else
{
$title =the default;
}
Both these are included by:
?
require('switch.php');
require('elseif.php');
?
Then on the page where thee are required I require them at the top of the
page.
and I have this:
title echo $title; ?
The first part of the if statement returns true always.
My question is why? Arent the variables $page and $refer etc passed over? Am
I going about this all wrong?
It doesnt work if even in the same file as the page and not in includes.
I thought that it didnt matter where we define variables in php, so I tried
to define the $title in the body of an html page but that didnt work
either-lol
using php4
on windows and solaris
is there a way to get this type of variable from any predefined HTTP
variables?
so I tried
